The Political And Moral Supports Of Society Are Falling Into Ruins

Long ago, David asked a question that’s on the minds of many believers today. “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3). In other words, what do we do as the political and moral supports of society fall to ruins around us?

As Questions Swirl, God’s Sovereignty Stills Our Troubled Minds

The sound of rain soothes my soul. This was particularly true this past Sunday morning as I sat in my office rehearsing the events of the previous evening. I knew it was likely someone might jeopardize the life of President Trump, but it shocked me to see it happen.

5 Popular Lies About the Rapture

5 Popular Lies About the Rapture

Within the walls of most churches that claim to believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, the most unpopular belief today is that of the pre-Tribulation Rapture. In such places of worship, one never hears about it while in other instance, it’s flatly denied.

As a result the backlash against our ‘blessed hope,” much of what people read about it in books and on social media just is not true.

The Mistaken Diagnoses of the Scoffers

The Rapture has become the object of scorn in many churches, even where it was once taught as a core belief. And of course, those outside of Christ give us much grief regarding our hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing, but that’s to be expected.

What lies behind the intense scoffing of our hope?

Sacred Promises and Our Hope of Meeting Jesus in the Air

Sacred Promises and Our Hope of Meeting Jesus in the Air

As we watch the world grow increasingly violent and lawless, how do we know that the Lord will rescue us before the world feels the full weight of God’s wrath? What if we are not walking with the Lord at the time of His appearing? Will we be left behind?

1 Thessalonians 5:1-10 answers these questions for us. For those of us in Christ, it’s a passage that drips with God’s grace toward us as New Testament Saints.

The Lion, the Sluggard, and the Rapture

The Lion, the Sluggard, and the Rapture

As I watch the signs of the coming Tribulation period fall into place, I conclude that one might righty say, “There’s a lion in the street!” The perils to our wellbeing are real; the difference between a sluggard and a wise person, however, rests in where they look for wisdom. The sluggard looks to himself while the wise looks to Scripture;.

The Importance of Our Heavenly Citizenship

The Importance of Our Heavenly Citizenship

In Philippians 3:20, Paul wrote, “But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

The residents of first century AD Philippi understood the value and meaning of citizenship. As a Roman colony, they enjoyed many of its privileges. The also understood what it meant to be citizens of a faraway city. For us, the words bring needed reassurance of our glorious hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing.

The Tragic Results of Divorcing the Rapture from the Gospel

The Tragic Results of Divorcing the Rapture from the Gospel

Somewhere in the past, a tragic divorce occurred; theologians decided we must separate the return of Jesus for His church from the proclamation of the Gospel. The results of this untimely divorce have led to a dearth of understanding among believers regarding Jesus’ appearing and the joyful anticipation that comes with such awareness.

The consequences of this have been tragic.

The Anchor Of Our Blessed Hope Holds Amid Wicked and Lawless Times

The Anchor Of Our Blessed Hope Holds Amid Wicked and Lawless Times

As the walls of the world close in on us and threaten our wellbeing, freedoms, and perhaps even our lives in the days ahead, we know that our hope rests in the “steadfast anchor of our soul,” namely Jesus and our anticipation of His soon return for us.

The Magnificent Glory That Awaits Us in Eternity

The Magnificent Glory That Awaits Us in Eternity

We use the word “glory” to refer to many aspects of our walk with the Lord. In a real sense, glorify His name when praise Him and sing worship songs. We see a foretaste of God’s glory in beautiful sunsets, the grandeur of snowcapped mountain tops, and in many ways through the beauty and wonder of nature.

We will not see the full display of Jesus’ glory, however, until He appears to take us up to heaven!

Jesus Is the Only Path to Eternal Life

Jesus Is the Only Path to Eternal Life

Eternal life resides in Jesus and in Him alone. No one else! This is true now and will also be the case after Jesus removes His true church from the earth.

In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Although Popular, It's a Dangerous View of the End Times

We believe that Israel’s miraculous reappearance as a nation and the Lord’s supernatural defense of this country mark the beginning of His fulfillment of promises that He made to Israel through the Old Testament prophets.

We most assuredly live in biblical times!

Salvation In No Other Name

Salvation In No Other Name

What do people need the most? The answer remains the same as it’s always been: A clear understanding of the Gospel. By this I mean that people need Jesus, not the one that so many today create in their mind but but the One revealed on the pages of Scripture.

Is America on the Cusp of a Food Catastrophe?

The warnings of future catastrophic food shortages are everywhere. Are we prudent to pay attention and follow the example of Joseph in the book of Genesis? Or is it foolishness to believe that such shortages can really happen in America?

The Sound of Approaching Hoofbeats

The Sound of Approaching Hoofbeats

It’s because the entire world is so very close to the fulfillment of Revelation 6:1-8, and Scripture assures us that we will be with Jesus before these riders begin their deadly and noisy trek across the planet. We will hear the sound of the trumpet before the world hears the hoofbeats of the riders of the Apocalypse.
